Five Big 12 teams ranked in AP poll

Despite the lack of a truly dominant team contending for a national championship so far, the Big 12 added another ranked team in the Associated Press’ top 25.

Oklahoma State at No. 13 is the top ranked Big 12 team. Texas is No. 15. Oklahoma is 16th. Baylor checks in at No. 23. And TCU remained in the top 25, despite losing last week to LSU at Arlington.

It’s a sign of the depth of the conference that five teams were ranked.

Four Big 12 teams were ranked in the USA Today coaches’ poll. OSU at 14th was the highest ranked team. OU was 15th. UT was 16th and TCU was tied for 24th with Miami. Baylor was 26th, just outside the top 25.

I’m a voter for the AP. Here’s a look at my vote for this week. Big 12/Texas teams are in bold.
